andysstuff Posted 17 April, 2014 Posted 17 April, 2014 @pn_neil_allen: #Pompey first-year losses considerably lower than anticipated according to Mark Catlin. http://t.co/tAnacjPFNN Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
andysstuff Posted 17 April, 2014 Posted 17 April, 2014 Just reading the article, the difference in losses almost exactly matches the extra cash pumped in by the HMW's. Interesting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Hatch Posted 17 April, 2014 Posted 17 April, 2014 The MP for Portsmouth North, Penny Mordaunt read telegrams of congratulations from Prime Minister David Cameron and Minister for Portsmouth Michael Fallon. A telegram! really!
Clapham Saint Posted 17 April, 2014 Posted 17 April, 2014 These preview/review videos are hilarious. Hadn't watched one before today but they add to the tinpotness off all thinks P*mpey fantastically. They look like they're filmed in the News' toilets using a mobile phone. http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/neil-allen-and-jordan-cross-preview-pompey-s-easter-programme-1-6007062 Has any journalist ever looked more uncomfortable than Neil and Jordan do on camera?

bridge too far Posted 17 April, 2014 Posted 17 April, 2014 Good spot, so in reality, they've done just as badly as their most optimistic prediction, whilst diluting the pdt's shareholding. Impressive Probably the HNW's intentions all along - to get the Tesco money!
andysstuff Posted 17 April, 2014 Posted 17 April, 2014 Probably the HNW's intentions all along - to get the Tesco money! The High Net Worths are in it for one reason - to become Higher Net Worths. They can't do that while the pesky Trust holds a majority stake. The quicker they dilute it to 49.9% the better.
Big Bad Bob Posted 17 April, 2014 Posted 17 April, 2014 Probably the HNW's intentions all along - to get the Tesco money! But it's "ring fenced" for "stadium improvements"
Torres Posted 17 April, 2014 Posted 17 April, 2014 Oh no! What an unfortunate, unintended and unforeseen situation this is! We somehow now own a majority of the club and its assets! What are we to do?
hypochondriac Posted 17 April, 2014 Posted 17 April, 2014 I love how they deliberately overestimated the losses in the first place so they can say how much better they dare doing.

Thank you PFC so much for mirroring the UK bankers in terms of ethical business practices and enabling our flying wardrobe to grab easy votes for just mentioning your floundering (no pun intended) piece of **** name in the house a few times. Lots of love, and don't forget to vote, Cammo. ;-)

I know things can get pretty steamy at #fatpipes, what with all the blocked plumbing and all, but does Mick looking as if he is about to enjoy being slapped offhandedly in the face with a wet fish by fatpenny really breach Rule 1?

Speaking at the meeting, Blues chairman Iain McInnes added: ... ‘So 26 per cent is the number to be concerned about. Suggests they are targeting another 25% from the trust!
Ric Posted 18 April, 2014 Posted 18 April, 2014 Hang on, am I just imagining things? I seem to recall that the Trust said they'd always have at least 50% ownership - or am I mistaken? Well, now the target is to have at least 26% - the first time we've ever heard mention of that. You have to wonder how many "ground" and "training facilities" improvements it will take for the Trust to dip below that mark. "Not many" is my guess. The alarm bells should be ringing for the "shareholders"!
Waterside.saint Posted 18 April, 2014 Posted 18 April, 2014 http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/brown-adamant-over-trust-power-1-6009309 Mission acomplished?? that was so obvious! They are taking the fans for mugs. If I had thrown away a grand for a share I would be pretty p*ssed right now. Cheer up, they are providing more 'opportunities' to 'invest further' in that ongoing train wreck. Plenty more :lol:s to come for us
Gorgiesaint Posted 18 April, 2014 Posted 18 April, 2014 So how long do we reckon it will be before the pst are down to 26% shareholding? Where's the :popcorn:
rallyboy Posted 18 April, 2014 Posted 18 April, 2014 Looks like the dream is over. I thought they would make it to the summer without losing a majority shareholding. How long before 26% becomes an issue? They are so not 'fan-owned' it isn't even up for debate anymore. We are fan-owned. KL is a fan, she owns us. Chelsea are fan-owned, as are Villa, etc, etc.
andysstuff Posted 18 April, 2014 Posted 18 April, 2014 I wonder whether they will hold up cards at the first home match next season spelling out 'No Longer Ours'
ericofarabia Posted 18 April, 2014 Posted 18 April, 2014 "You will see when we announce our new training ground there will be similar opportunities for everyone in this room to invest further, but also backing from our presidents to ensure that there will be a state-of-the-art training ground back in Portsmouth". Roll up Roll up .... donate more of your hard earned dosh to the bottom cess pit.
spyinthesky Posted 18 April, 2014 Posted 18 April, 2014 Unfortunately not so relevant now but before the Man City game there was the usual chorus of..'We are Southampton, we're off to Brazil'.. followed by '''You dirty skate b***ARDs you're off to the Skrill'.. There was also rendition of the old favourite.. 'Pompey, Pompey, give us your answer do, what's it like to go down from Division 2' (probably needs to be changed to 'Stuck in Division 2, for next year)
Ohio Saint Posted 18 April, 2014 Posted 18 April, 2014 Got to hand it to the skates. They are avoiding relegation, and this was their best chance to make me happy. They will survive now in the heady heights of Div. 2 for many years to come, and I will never get the delight of seeing them drop out of the league. My best hope now is for a good financial butt-raping followed by dissolution. There is still certainly a decent chance of that.
dubai_phil Posted 18 April, 2014 Posted 18 April, 2014 When they were in the PL did they ever have a player who was actually mentioned on Sky News as being in the running for PL Player of the Year?
rallyboy Posted 18 April, 2014 Posted 18 April, 2014 No, but Defoe and Crouch shared the trophy as the fastest heroes up the A3 once their wages stopped, Liam Lawrence was nominated as ticket office assistant of the year, Jonny Ertl still holds the record for most squirrels eaten in a tent by a player not costing the club a penny, Cotterill's US tour broke several records for pointlessness and lying to the fanbase, and of course Avram was three times a finalist in Horton Heath's slowest driver through the industrial estate competition - and he came first, every time. But no is the short answer.
